Greek Literature in Translation

Instructions for the Final Paper:

The paper will be based on additional readings equivalent in length to
roughly three Greek tragedies.

E-mail me your choice of readings before 9:00 am on November 11.
If the proposed readings are acceptable I will e-mail you back. If there
are problems we can discuss them at the end of class on November 12. If
you do not choose your readings by November 11, readings will be
assigned to you. Readings assigned in this manner cannot be changed
under any circumstances whatsoever.

- Translations for most of your papers will
be found at the Perseus
website. Be patient: it may take a while to load. When loading
is completed, scroll down to find the author and text you want.

Write study questions similar to those which we have used for the
in-class readings and discussions. The quality of your questions will be
one of the factors determining your grade for this assignment.

E-mail your study questions to me before 12:01 am on November 30
(i.e. midnight between Sunday and Monday). I will either
approve your study questions at that time or give you alternative ones
if necessary. I may also give you >additional instructions at that
time.

Answer two or three of the approved study questions. If I have given
you additional instructions, be sure to follow them. The combined length
of your paper should be 5-6 pages (Times Roman 12 point).

Please include the following statement with your paper:

Any ideas or language that
I have gotten from another source have been indicated with appropriate
bibliographical citations. Any ideas or language not so indicated are
my own.

Papers without this statement will be
returned as incomplete. Incomplete papers must be completed by the due
date (no. 8 below) to receive credit.
